HTC Droid Incredible, that is. Gingerbread is the Android version to have, and manufacturers are continuously trying to get the latest OS on the newest devices. Some older devices are definitely capable of handling a Gingerbread update, though. Like the HTC Droid Incredible, one of the most loved devices Verizon has ever seen.

Droid Incredible users will be happy to know that dessert is served. Just when we thought this update would never show up, Verizon has posted the software update PDF files. The good ol’ Droid Incredible is actually getting Android 2.3.4, along with some other well-deserved fixes.

Update Fixes

MMS messages will now send correctly

Properly save audio files from MMS messages

Successfully play audio from MMS messages

Internet connection via Bluetooth now enabled

VZ Navigator now operates on Wifi

Change songs in the music widget by tapping the forward button

Camera now functions with an SD card inserted

This is great and all, but what you guys really want to know is when the OTA is scheduled to roll out. (You’ve been waiting enough!). While the dates are not specified on Verizon’s website, our friends at Android Central have gotten word that the update starts rolling out tomorrow, August 16. It seems only 10,000 users will be getting the update tomorrow, though. Another 50,000 updates will roll out Wednesday, and the rest of the users will get it on Friday.

There ya go! Our beloved Droid Incredible is getting Gingerbread after all. So you might be able to hold on to it for a while more. Time to start the Update Check chaos. Don’t forget to take a look at the Update details and the instructions from Verizon’s website.

What do you guys say? Well deserved, right? Will you be keeping that Droid Incredible longer, now that you’ll be getting Gingerbread?

Hello, I am Edgar Cervantes. I am an avid Android fan, and keeping myself updated on the topic is part of my daily life. I will always work hard to give the best of me to our community of Android enthusiasts, and I am very honored to be part of this ship. Hopefully we can all enjoy sharing our knowledge and opinions!

Verizon had notified me that I was eligible for an early switch but I have no reason to trade my Incredible. Once it got Froyo it became the best smartphone that I’ve ever had. If Gingerbread maintains the reliability and (possibly) improves responsiveness I can wait for the next quantum leap.

I have a question some of you may know. I rooted my Incredible using unrevoked. I havent installed any custom ROMs though. I only rooted it to run certain apps. Will I get an OTA update? And if so, will that mess up my root?

Apparently I have build 2.3.4 however I still have a “a storage is low” error showing up when the phone has over 500mb of storage. This has caused Google talk to stop functioning and gmail to stop dl’ing mail. Recently the phone has started freezing and rebooting randomly. No fix on the net except a hard reset or an iPhone.
